Logistics in a 21st Century Classroom

I've read about a number of schools that have created learning spaces that are very conducive to collaboration and communication. I'd love to see areas dedicated to experimentation - equipped with webcams; areas dedicated to recording audio and video - with some sound buffers; grouped tables for lessons and break out spaces galore!

Would/ could parents attend monthly meetings? Meetings every term? What would be reasonable yet sufficient to create relationships that foster enhanced student achievement in a radically new environment.

What will be the balance between 21st century skills and 20th century curriculum? Is it okay to lean toward the here and now?

How will KRSS ensure the program supports the necessary technology to make such a technological classroom possible? Bandwidth? Print access?
